“Just want to share the most beautiful & gracious experience we had at the BVR last night! (02/12/2025) We had booked a party of 12 for my mums birthday at 6pm. But the storm hit. My mums best friend called to confirm our reservation & we were good to go. Show up to BVR & they have a sign saying due to the weather they will be closing at 6.. same time as our reso. While we totally understand everyone’s safety is important we at first were worried our reservation had been cancelled without our knowledge. That couldn’t have been farther from the truth. The restaurant, waitresses & chefs stayed open just for us. To serve us on my mums birthday celebration. We insisted a few times for them to close, but they said no we want you to have a great birthday. To them it might have been a small act, but to us it was huge. We are so so appreciative of this act of kindness. Our meals were top notch, the server was amazing & over all it was an amazing experience. Thank you all so much for staying open for us and for an awesome evening. 💖“
